SETI: March 2019

This paper outlines some of the possible advancements for the technosignatures searches using the new methods currently rapidly developing in computer science, such as machine learning and deep learning.

WHY WE PERFORMED THIS AUDIT: Supporting scientific and technological research to reveal the unknown about Earth, its Sun and solar system, and the universe for the benefit of humankind is an important part of NASA's mission. In 2017, NASA spent approximately $600 million on this type of research largely through grants and cooperative agreements.
